oh what do you do in the autumn time?

Here is what I like to do...

watch the leaves change color

make these tasty pumpkin bars (or have them made for me... ya know..whichev..) 

via

think long and hard about what Halloween costume I want to wear

And don't even try to deny this isn't your lifelong dream to be the "NEXT CONTESTANT ON THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!!" 

Watch this boy run cross country

And when I can't watch.. at least hear about it from some very good sources! 

Start wearing boots again

And last but not least, celebrate my favorite holiday. 

He he... you thought I was going to say Halloween, which is also a favorite. But not as favorite as my own personal holiday, which is my BIRTHDAY of course! The big 25! Quarter of a century! 

Every year, I've made a wishlist of birthday gifts I could stand to see in my living room on the morning of October 7th. This year, my wish list has been comprised of things I NEED... not things I really WANT. For example, this year I am getting a haircut/color for my birthday, and some new scrubs and shoes for work. Boring. So, in order to get sufficiently excited for my birth, I am making another wish list of my birthday in a perfect world.

Stay tuned... for I will reveal it soon. 

In the meantime, I know you are probably dying to see what I've wished for in years past (one of which DID come true- woohoo! I write this post on my newish apple laptop--see, dare to dream) 

You can find my 2012 birthday list here

And my 2011 birthday list here

Don't you guys just LOVE BIRTHDAYS?!? I could never understand those people who don't want anyone to know it's their birthday. Shout it out peeps. It comes around once a year, and I think everyone deserves to feel special at LEAST that often :) 

Ah.. fall really is the best time of year. The crisp mornings and evenings, and the beautiful perfect days.. it makes my heart happy. 

And guess what else makes my heart happy? 

I got a job! So I work Tuesday afternoons in Orem, and then I work Wednesdays, Thursdays, and every other Friday in Springville. With the potential for more hours soon, because they are expanding. The two offices are very different, one is pretty big and the other is pretty little. I like the change up, it keeps things interesting. They are both great places to work and I am feeling very blessed. 

Happy Fall Ya'll!! 

But I already know you will be :)
